The Antidote to Sunday Scaries (and Why We’re All Songwriters)

Have you ever noticed the relationship between clarity and confusion?
As clarity rises in your life, relationships, and work—confusion tends to fade. And when confusion creeps in, clarity seems to vanish.

What if we thought about our days like a song? A song knows where it’s going. It has rhythm. It moves with chord progressions. It lives in a key. It carries a melody. It finds its rhyme.

For me, the “Sunday Scaries” almost always show up between sunrise and sundown as the new week approaches. But maybe the remedy is simple: getting still, getting intentional, and sketching out the song we want to write for the week ahead.

James Clear once wrote, “Writing is the antidote to confusion.”
That feels true.

So here’s the practice:
Sit down. Get quiet. Write.
Get clear on who you are, what you’re up to, and where you’re going.

My sense is that when we do this, the Sunday Scaries dissolve into something else entirely—into the melody of possibility that Monday holds. A gentle reminder: we are all songwriters.
